Just because I’m an artist doesn’t mean I should be treated differently.
MELANIE MARTINEZJust because I’m an artist doesn’t mean I should be treated differently.
MELANIE MARTINEZDoing music is time consuming, will drain you, and stress you out at times. But in the end if you love doing it, and you’re putting out music you’re proud of, it will never feel like work. It’ll just feel like love.
MELANIE MARTINEZJust wanna be held once in a Blue Moon.
MELANIE MARTINEZI’m not used to writing about happy emotions, I’m just used to pulling from my sad or angry – happy emotions are very hard for me to portray in music.
MELANIE MARTINEZI’ll always definitely strive to write songs that are going to help people feel confident in themselves.
MELANIE MARTINEZIf you can’t handle a heart like mine, don’t waste your time with me.
MELANIE MARTINEZMy favorite performance would definitely be “Toxic,” which was my blind audition song. It was the start of it all and it was a song I had been covering before the show, so it was very dear to my heart.
MELANIE MARTINEZI have a few songs that I’m figuring out and writing. I’m still figuring out the whole concept and how it’s gonna connect to Cry Baby, but I have some ideas, yes.
MELANIE MARTINEZNo human interaction, just killing dead parts of myself to make room for the new.
MELANIE MARTINEZMake sure this [music industry] is what you love to do, and you can’t imagine doing anything else.
MELANIE MARTINEZI’m probably the most proud of “Mrs. Potato Head,” because I had that idea in my head for so long, and I tried writing that song one time and I just couldn’t tell the story the way I wanted to, and I couldn’t figure it out.
MELANIE MARTINEZI like pop music because it can really affect a large amount of people and if I tell stories and spread messages that I think are really important for people to be aware of, I would want it to be on the biggest platform and I feel like pop is that. I use it as a way to tell stories.
MELANIE MARTINEZI’m happy that I get to work with people that I enjoy being around. It’s really cool when people understand and want to help your vision and are like rooting for you. I just, I love them a lot.
MELANIE MARTINEZTime traveling through roots to birth healing fruit.
MELANIE MARTINEZI’ve had a lot of people come up to me after shows and tell me that “Dollhouse” really helped them with whatever they were going through with their families. I thought that was really amazing, that it could mean one thing for me but another thing for someone else.
MELANIE MARTINEZI’ll always definitely strive to write songs that are going to help people feel confident in themselves.
